Dewitt, NY Fire Damage Cleanup and Restoration

Fires can be a hazardous situation for Onondaga county properties. Being a suburb of Syracuse, there are many large commercial properties like Le Moyne College and Shoppingtown Mall, along with thousands of homes. We have efficient fire restoration and mitigation solutions to help.

What Mitigation Steps Help DeWitt Homes?

Mitigating fire damage means prioritizing the immediate and urgent needs of a damaged home or business after a fire loss event. As leading restoration professionals trained as FSRT-Certified technicians, we can offer several emergency services early in recovery like:

  • Smoke damage cleaning
  • Water removal services
  • Debris removal
  • Fire and smoke damage removal 

Clearing Odors After Structure Fires

Odors can be a common concern for households after extinguishing a fire. Combustion of materials and the spread of smoke particles can create offensive odors in many rooms of the house. Early actions like debris removal can lessen odor concentration, requiring less contact time for deodorization and filtration measures improving indoor air quality. 

Removing Soot from Damaged Surfaces in DeWitt Homes 

Solvents and detergents are fundamental products in removing and managing soot and smoke residue threats in a household after a fire. Thick soil deposits first require loose debris removal with vacuums and mechanical action. Still, solvents and detergents either emulsify or dissolve remaining soot particles to protect underlying substrates in many cases.
